He can pitch, as evidenced by three record-breaking pitches in high school and the Nippon Professional Baseball league and a monster 2016 season that saw a 1.86 ERA, 174 strikeouts, and a 3.87 K/BB in 140 innings.

He can hit, as demonstrated by a career .275/.347/.491 batting line, replete with 40 home runs and an .838 OPS in four seasons with the Fighters.

He can command top-tier salaries from MLB teams, according to the New York Post’s Joel Sherman, who estimates offers in the $200-300 million range when the 22-year-old makes his long-anticipated jump to the MLB circuit in the next year or two.

And, thanks to the unique structure of the Tokyo Dome, he can also make baseballs disappear.

During the seventh inning of an exhibition game against the Netherlands on Sunday, Otani muscled a fly ball that vanished among the paneled roof of the Tokyo Dome. A hush fell over the crowd as officials and teammates tried to figure out exactly where the ball was lodged, watching as Otani rounded the bases for a home run. After some deliberation, the umpires rescinded the scoring change and called the hit a ground-rule double.

Update (7:51 PM ET): ESPN’s Buster Olney says the deal isn’t final yet. Rosenthal says that any delay on this trade is due to Kinsler’s no-trade clause, but he still expects the deal to happen.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Angels will acquire second baseman Ian Kinsler from the Tigers. It is not known yet what the Tigers will receive in return. Kinsler had to waive his no-trade clause in order for the deal to happen.

Kinsler, 35, hit .236/.313/.412 with 22 home runs, 52 RBI, 90 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 613 plate appearances for the Tigers this past season. He’s in the final year of his contract and will earn $10 million for the 2018 season.

The Angels were certainly looking to upgrade at second base and did so with Kinsler. They were also reportedly interested in Cesar Hernandez of the Phillies.
